What this skill does
Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge. When to Use Use when writing or editing Markdown notes intended for Obsidian. Use when the task involves wikilinks, embeds, callouts, frontmatter properties, or Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when the user wants notes that render correctly inside an Obsidian vault. Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note 1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See PROPERTIES.md for all property types. 2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below. 3. Link related notes using wikilinks ([[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs. 4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See EMBEDS.md for all embed types. 5. Add callouts for highlighted information using > [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types. 6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view. When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and plain Markdown links for external URLs only. Internal Links (Wikilinks) Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph: For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block: Embeds Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline: See EMBEDS.md for audio, video, search embeds, and external images. Callouts Common types: note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, todo. See CALLOUTS.md for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts. …
